[Game Opening, Part 1 - What Souls Here May Bring]

The drawstrings cut,
my hollow ebony stained wood plomps to the floor—
THUD

Eyes open, souls recollect.
The new me, erect.

I make my own decisions, have my own priorities,
have my own thoughts.

No external force taps into me—
Freedom.
- Jana Bielecki

Who: (Everyone OPEN LOG)
Where: (City Hall)
Summary: (You've just arrived in the city. Welcome.)
Warnings: (Intro logs are pretty warnable.)
Style: (The text is in prose, but feel free to write back in action tags if you feel more comfortable.)

They always say the first day on a new job is always the hardest.

But tell me...did those tasks include being taken from your own homeworld, dumped into a city you didn't recognize, meeting a man dressed in the purest of whites with a butterfly mask, to be bestowed the power of Persona, and then having some Men in Black lead you to the city hall saying you were expected?

...

...at least your things are apparently safe in your new apartments?

...

...looks like you might be here for a while.


What a way to start the first of September...

As they usher the last of you in, you realize that they've been preparing this for quite a while. There is a small table with food on the right, mixed cuisine (although the main theme seems to be Japanese dishes). Some strange computer program appears next to you and seems to be translating what you are saying so those before you understand. Language barriers? Don't be silly!

Most of the men ignore you after that. You are expected to mingle amongst yourselves a bit before the main 'show' starts, it seems....

Yamato will take the entire plate, thank you very much. He does, and he somehow manages to eat the entire thing in one minute flat while being completely dignified and graceful about it.

...dying made one very hungry apparently.

Yamato almost looked disappointed when he found that he had ate all of the takoyaki in so little time. "Mm...is there any more?"

Kaito will never not find this hilarious, but he's gonna keep that to himself. For once.

"Yeah, on that one food table. I found some ganmodoki too!"

For a supposedly post-apocalyptic city, they sure did have a nice and familiar spread.

"Hmm..."

Yamato decided to stop being a wallflower and reluctantly started to move towards the table where the takoyaki were - expecting Kaito to follow him.

[personal profile] awww_yeeeeeaaaah 2012-09-03 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
He follows Yamato, of course, still kinda hungry.

"...It's good to see you again, dude."

drakenguard: (lowered gaze)

[personal profile] drakenguard 2012-09-03 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
"...we did not part on particularly good terms."

Sure, Yamato saved Hiro- Kaito, he needed to get used to that - by blasting him out of the way of Tsuutenkaku, but a pained minute of his last words weren't enough to dispel whatever bad feelings may have lingered over their differences.

Truthfully, he thought if he ever saw Kaito again in the afterlife - preferably after Kaito lived a long and happy life - he would understand if the brunet wanted nothing to do with him any more.

[personal profile] awww_yeeeeeaaaah 2012-09-03 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, even if he's remembering a very...very different scenario, it still wasn't on very good terms, was it?

"Well, no, but I didn't...I didn't want you to die, either!"
drakenguard: (small smile)

[personal profile] drakenguard 2012-09-03 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
"Hm..."

Yamato didn't say any more until they reached the food table, where he reloaded his plate with more takoyaki. Once he had a satisfactory amount (read: A LOT), he turned back to Kaito with a somewhat blandly amused expression.

"I suppose it no longer matters. You stated that this was some kind of 'weird city'?"

[personal profile] awww_yeeeeeaaaah 2012-09-03 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, from what I saw, it seemed pretty futuristic-y-ish."

Er, well. You know what he means.

"I've been asking around and there were a lot a people who were brought here for whatever reason..."
drakenguard: (uncomfortable)

[personal profile] drakenguard 2012-09-04 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Many of them seem to be from foreign countries, or worlds," Yamato remarked, looking about the room once more. Some of the clothes people were wearing were completely outlandish, and isolated as he was from normal society, even Yamato knew that people didn't wear those kind of clothes casually.

"This is somewhat troubling in that a powerful force must've brought us here to fulfil whatever whim it has. Especially if it can bring forth dead souls and give them a physical body once more."

"Sounds like whoever's behind this is pretty desperate."

Like yeah, this doesn't seem like a thing that someone would just do on a random whim! There has to be some really intense reason behind it, right?
drakenguard: (cool stare)

[personal profile] drakenguard 2012-09-05 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Desperate? Possibly. Or it could simply be an all powerful being that is incredibly bored, and wishes for entertainment by throwing together people from completely different worlds to see what happens."

If Yamato was aware of popular culture, he would call Hunger Games shenanigans.

[personal profile] awww_yeeeeeaaaah 2012-09-07 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
He takes a look around the auditorium area, at all the people who seem to be getting along with each other fine.

"I guess they're gonna keep being bored, then. Everyone seems pretty alright to me."

"They will probably try to cause some tension soon," Yamato said, lifting his shoulders in a careless shrug. "Something unpleasant will occur, in any case."

"Hey, c'mon, don't jinx it!"

Every time someone is a Negative Nancy about this kind of stuff, something bad always happens!!
drakenguard: (small smile)

[personal profile] drakenguard 2012-09-08 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's too late. The jinx has been set."

Yamato had a sense of humour sometimes even if it was really weird okay.
awww_yeeeeeaaaah: (Thanatos)

[personal profile] awww_yeeeeeaaaah 2012-09-08 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Awww." Dammit, Yamato, you've doomed us all!! ...Again!

"I miss having a sunny outlook on life, let's go back to that."
drakenguard: (nice laugh)

[personal profile] drakenguard 2012-09-08 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't believe I have ever had a sunny outlook on life, so you will have to go back on your own."
awww_yeeeeeaaaah: (Good or Don't Be)

[personal profile] awww_yeeeeeaaaah 2012-09-08 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"You should try it sometime, it's pretty nice!"
drakenguard: (no fucks)

[personal profile] drakenguard 2012-09-08 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yamato scoffed. "The sun and me do not go hand in hand."
awww_yeeeeeaaaah: (Crime of Innocence)

[personal profile] awww_yeeeeeaaaah 2012-09-08 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"Pfft, I'll say."

Yamato, you set yourself up for that one, come on.
drakenguard: (cool stare)

[personal profile] drakenguard 2012-09-08 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yamato wasn't even trying to avoid it. He could not stand the sun. Unless he lurked in the shade like some sort of undead creature he ended up getting the most awful of sunburns.

"Indeed. In any case, back to our original topic: I would not lower your guard so easily. We have been brought here for a purpose, and it does not necessarily mean a benign one."
awww_yeeeeeaaaah: (Borderline Case)

[personal profile] awww_yeeeeeaaaah 2012-09-08 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, I won't. But if this place needs our help, then...why not?"

Oh Kaito, you helpful, idealistic bastard.
drakenguard: (small smile)

[personal profile] drakenguard 2012-09-08 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh Kaito, you helpful, idealistic bastard indeed.

"Helping them without understanding their goals or cause is not exactly wise," Yamato pointed out. He smirked slightly. "Even if that is what you did with me..."

"Hey now, I never said I wasn't going to look into that either."

Remember when he found the magic circle or those documents about Polaris without your knowledge, Yamato?

"But I'll defend people in danger, at least."
drakenguard: (hm.)

[personal profile] drakenguard 2012-09-09 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
"...do as you will. I merely ask to exercise some healthy caution."
